If you don't mind, I think keeping this in (as a way to verify that we
really did make t5319 leak-free) may be good for reviewers. When you
clean these areas up, you'll have to remember to remove those UNLEAK()s,
but hopefully they produce conflicts with your in-flight work that serve
as not-too-annoying reminders.

I would certainly rather not have to UNLEAK() those at all, so I am very
excited to see a series from you which handles freeing these resources
appropriately. It was just too big a bite for me to chew off when
preparing this quick series.

Thanks,
Taylor
